|
| I have a slapd configured like so:

| suffix          "o=XXX,c=ZA"
| rootdn          "cn=Directory Administrator,o=XXX,c=ZA"
| directory       /var/lib/ldap/XXX
|
| I intend to populate this clean server with the ldif file from the

| following error for the root object:
|
| [root@samantha openldap]# ldapmodify -x -D "cn=Directory
| Administrator,o=XXX,c=ZA" -w yyyy
| dn: o=XXX,c=ZA
| changetype: add
| objectClass: top
| objectClass: organization
| o: XXX
| description: The XXX Company
|
| adding new entry "o=XXX,c=ZA"
| ldap_add: No such object
|
| ldif_record() = 32
|
| I have checked the syslog for errors (with it configured to log
| absolutely everything), but it just mirrors the error message "No such
| object".
|
| Can anyone explain to me what openldap is trying to tell me?
|
| Which object is it referring to when it says "no such object?".
|
| Regards,
| Graham
